Last night had a first, I’ve been doing a challenge where I try to start up every DCS module I get without the manual or guides. This time it was the C-130 Hercules which is a very complex boy! It was also the first time I did this together with my co-pilot Nene, who also had no idea what we were getting into.
Going for a minimal spoilers approach with zero knowledge to start off with - we got the engines running in about two and half hours, and the aircraft correctly configured and in the air in about four hours! Making for a rather chill and fun aviation hangout with the chat. Thanks everyone for being there 💕
Here’s the recording of the stream https://m.twitch.tv/videos/2633777076 which I will later also upload to YouTube so it won’t disappear.

“I LOVE THIS JOB”, for DCS, updated to version 4: https://buff.ly/3Zw0Byj

I just wanted to share how bizarre a product my #Winwing 16EX (ViperAce) joystick is.
In order for the integrated vibration motor to function, you’re required to purchase an additional plastic module that fastens to the top left of the stick. It features a 5-way HAT and a 2-axis stick with push.
The module itself contains no vibration motor. Just the chip that controls the motor inside the stick. My guess is that they couldn’t fit the chip inside the stick itself. It’s a ridiculous design.
On the other hand, they’re using a cheap switch to give the trigger a “click”. Brilliant honestly.
With the module attached the vibration from within the stick itself will only work when the Winwing SimAppPro software is running in the background, which includes the default (and customizable) vibration settings for aircraft of various flight sims like #DCSWorld, #BMS, and #MSFS.
The vibration isn’t force feedback but it does vary in how it vibrates with different aircraft in a way that’s pleasant and intuitive to the touch. This goes for all their products featuring vibration motors.
Pulling high AoA in a Mirage F1? It’ll vibrate aggressively.
Launching a Sparrow in an F/A-18C? It’ll give a short gentle vibration as the missile comes off the rail.
Vortex Ring State setting in while hovering your Mi-24? It’ll start buffeting against your hand with increasing intensity.
If you don’t care about vibration and don’t want SimAppPro running in the background, then don’t bother with the additional “shaker” module. It doesn’t “add” a whole lot.
Despite the stupid design, it’s a great product. I’ve had no issues over the past few months of use.

While filming #EliteDangeous I was once again wondering what method of recording with what settings yields the best results.
The advent of Steam Background recording also adds the question - how good is this superbly convenient method?
Let's find out, in #DCSWorld #VR

Today was a bad day for Linux Gaming, at least for me.
1. I wanted to play DCS: World with head teacking like always
2. My system stopped recognising my Oculus Rift CV1 sensors, throwing all sorts of USB errors in dmesg
3. I switched to the linux-lts kernel, which caused even more problems with the GPU. The graphical environment never showed up.
4. Back on the regular linux kernel, I settled for a phone strapped to my head for head tracking.
5. After two hours of gameplay, KWin crashed and failed to restore my open applications including the game.I'm done for tonight. 😩

I was just watching part of today’s performance by the virtual #Thunderbirds. They use #DigitalCombatSimulator #DCSWorld #DCS by #EagleDynamics to simulate the real USAF demo team show. So much of this is amazing. First, the pilot skill is off the charts. Second, I had to remind myself that this was a commercial simulator on PCs. Third, apart from a few Twitch glitches, the demo showed how pilots could coordinate precise flying using the Internet. (I don’t recommend it for real; I’m just amazed it works at all). Demo starts here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1675275264?t=43970s
